Because if you are storing something like the BLOB in your home-lab refrigorator the last thing you want is a power outage, or some dipwad turning off your electricity because you are a day or two late on the bill... Think of all the needless underware scenes that could have been saved if electricity problems were a thing of the past, instead of BLOBs being a beast of our future.
